[ubuntu-uk] Webcam problem

[Gordon Burgess-Parker]

I purchased a Logitech C270 HD Webcam which according to this site 
http://www.ideasonboard.org/uvc/#devices is compatible with Linux.
I ran up a Live CD of Ubuntu 11.10 and connected the camera.
the camera works but the microphone does not work at all. (The mic works 
in Windows).
Is there a way of getting the mic to work? (I couldn't get it to work in 
either Sound Recorder or Skype...)
